Yella Beezy found guilty of capital murder for MO3's death

Six years to the day after rapper Mo3's death, rival Dallas rapper Yella Beezy is found guilty for the murder-for-hire case. Good evening. I'm Steve Eager. Hi, everybody. I'm Heather Hayes. Well, Dallas County just released a new booking photo of Marquise Conway, known as Yella Beezy. It was taken this afternoon after he was led out of court in handcuffs, the jury taking only a few hours to reach its decision. Fox 4's Alex Boye live from the Dallas County Courthouse with more. You've got details and reaction. Alex. Hey guys, that's right. And in fact, the jury deliberated for just over four hours today. I can tell you, being here this morning, what was interesting was almost right away when deliberations began, the jury began asking questions and asking for all of the exhibits, Yella Beezy's rap lyrics, as well as... FBI transcripts and financial records to be provided to them after reviewing all of that information. I would say about an hour after that is when they came back and ultimately found him guilty of capital murder. Now, Yella Beezy, whose real name is Marquise Conway, showed little emotion as the verdict was read in court. The defense then pulled each individual juror to make sure that they were in agreement with the verdict. Yella Beezy, as you see there, was then handcuffed And then ultimately... Led away by bailiffs, he will now spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole for orchestrating that 2020 murder of Melvin Noble, known as Dallas Rapper Mo3, who was killed in the middle of the day on a Dallas highway. After the murder, prosecutors say that Yella Beezy traveled back to North Texas and quickly withdrew $40,000 in cash while communicating with the convicted gunman through a middleman. In the end, the jury believed Leave the prosecution. Prove. Thank you. Tireless effort to get a just verdict. Did you think that they did prove beyond a reasonable doubt? No, I don't. I don't think they had the evidence, and all that will be addressed in the appeals. That's all I've got to say. So as soon as the guilty verdict was read, I can tell you that several supporters you see there of Yella Beezy stormed out of the courtroom, many people emotional. Moe Three's family, meanwhile, hugged one another and their attorney. There were no victim impact statements following the verdict. Yellow Beasley, I can tell you, asked if he could kiss his son before being taken into custody. The judge deferred to the bailiff on that decision. The bailiff ultimately said that he could, but by that point, his family had left the courtroom. I can tell you that, again, as you heard there from defense attorney Toby Shook, he does plan to appeal the verdict.
